FROM: Angela Hess

SUBJECT: Water Rate Increase
DATE: December 16, 2011
BACKGROUND:
APPROVED BY COUNCIL
DEL 2 d 2011
The Owasso Public Works Authority purchases treated water from the City of Tulsa. As a part of
their annual budgetary process and rate review, Tulsa adopted a water rate increase intended
to become effective October 1, 2011. The water service contract between the City of Owasso
and the City of Tulsa requires a 180 day written notice of rate increases be provided by the City
of Tulsa. Tulsa did not provide timely notice according to the contract, therefore the effective
date of the increase will be March 1, 2012. Rates for water purchased by the OPWA from the
City of Tulsa will increase from $2.42 to $2.59 per 1000 gallons. In order for water rates to recover
the cost of service in the OPWA, that seventeen cent rate increase should be passed on to the
OPWA water customers.
The last water rate increase was October 1, 2010. At that time, Tulsa increased rates by fourteen
cents and the OPWA increased rates by twenty-eight cents providing additional operating funds
for the OPWA.
Staff proposes a rate increase of seventeen cents per 1000 gallons of water usage to customers
inside the city limits and a twenty cent increase to customers outside the city limits. The rate
increase would offset the seventeen cent increase from Tulsa. In 1999, OPWA Trustees
established by resolution and ordinance that water rates to customers residing outside the
Owasso city limits would be 20% more than the rate inside the city.
The proposed new rate would increase the base minimum fee for 1000 gallons of water from
$10.84 to $11.01. The volume charge per 1000 gallons of water usage would increase from $4.27
to $4.44 for customers inside the city
The monthly cost of the proposed rate increase to the average city customer who uses 7000
gallons of water per month is $1.19. The annual increase would be $14.28.
The proposed new rate for rural customers would increase the base minimum fee for 1000
gallons of water from $13.01 to $13.21. The volume charge per 1000 gallons of water would
increase from $5.12 to $5.32.
Rate changes require the approval of the OPWA Trustees and the approval of the City Council.
They are enacted by Trustee Resolution and by City Council Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council approval of Ordinance No. 997 increasing the water rates to offset
the rate increase from the City of Tulsa.
